The Meng family lives in a three-story building built before liberation. Of course, the entire building has been renovated several times. The building is covered with wall-crawlers, but the leaves have begun to wither and turn yellow.
There is a large courtyard outside the small building, which can be regarded as a quiet place in the bustle of the capital. However, the old man did not want to trouble his children and grandchildren, so he stayed in the heavily guarded Xishan Sanatorium.
Since both parents are in the capital, Meng Lin still lives with his family even though he is married. As for Meng Yao, who is not yet married, she naturally lives at home, but she only goes home on weekends and usually lives in the school.
.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly?" On the second floor, when he saw Meng Lin's car driving into the yard, Meng Yao, who had always been very affectionate with his brother, ran down quickly.
It was only when I came to Meng Lin that I realized that my brother, who usually paid great attention to his appearance, now had bloodshot eyes and his hair looked a little messy. He completely lost the calm and indifferent attitude that the eldest son of the Meng family usually had.
"It's okay, little sister. There was a case yesterday that was very tiring. I'll just go back and take a nap."
Seeing his sister, Meng Lin said apologetically: "Today's weekend, I originally planned to accompany you to see that "Titanic", but my brother made a mistake. I will make up for it next time..."
It can be said that Meng Lin doted on his sister. As long as Meng Yao asked for it, he could do anything he wanted since he was a child. Even his wife was a little jealous of his sister-in-law.
"Brother, I asked you to watch "Titanic" with your sister-in-law. It's a movie for couples."
Meng Yao, who was calm and even a little cold outside, was very enthusiastic towards his brother. He took Meng Lin's arm and said affectionately: "Brother, go to bed. I have something to do in the afternoon."
Meng Lin glanced at Meng Yao. Although he had a good relationship with his sister, Meng Lin rarely saw his sister showing such excitement. His heart moved and he asked, "Huh? What's going on? Going shopping with Xiaotong?"
Meng Yao shook his head and said, "No. I don't like shopping. What's the point of shopping?"
"What's that for?"
Meng Lin stopped and said with a smile: "It's not my sister who has started to fall in love, right? Tell me, which family the boy is from? Let me check it out for you."
"Brother, you are kidding me again."
Hearing Meng Lin's words, Meng Yao could not help but flash the figure of Qin Feng in his mind, but an unnatural blush appeared on his fair face.
"Huh? Little sister, are you really impressed by me?"
Meng Lin has such a sharp eye. This was the first time he saw such a girlish look on his sister's face. He couldn't help but be very curious and pulled his sister to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
"Meng Yao, your brother hasn't come back all night, please stop pestering him."
Although Mother Meng was very happy to see the brother and sister having such a good relationship, she still scolded her daughter. After all, mothers tend to favor their sons more.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm going to talk to Yaoyao. Go and cook. I'm starving."
After sending his mother away, Meng Lin looked at his sister and said, "Yaoyao, what is going on? Do you still want to hide it from me, brother?"
"Brother, you are thinking too much..."
Meng Yao had always told his brother about any grievances he had suffered since he was a child. He didn't think much about it and said, "I made an appointment with Qin Feng to go to the piano room in the afternoon and invited him to attend our college's New Year's Day party."
Meng Yao didn't know why she blushed when she thought of Qin Feng, but Qin Feng undoubtedly left a deep impression on her, and since Qin Feng appeared, the haze of the engagement that had been buried in her heart for more than ten years has finally disappeared.
To say that Meng Yao fell in love with Qin Feng and developed feelings for him would be a bit exaggerated.
But Meng Yao's good impression of Qin Feng existed. At least in the circles in the capital that she had access to, Meng Yao had never seen a young man as talented as Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng? Are you going to see him this afternoon?!"
After hearing his sister's words, Meng Lin's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, because almost ten hours have passed since midnight last night, and the word "Qin Feng" has been lingering in Meng Lin's mind.
"Meng Lin, why are you talking so loudly?"
Meng's mother, who had just scolded her daughter, now stuck her head out of the kitchen and began to scold her son, "Speak softly to your sister and don't make a fuss about everything."
"Mom, I understand."
Meng Lin was a very filial person. He smiled bitterly, looked at his sister and lowered his voice, saying: "Yao Yao, that Qin Feng is not a good person. You'd better avoid interacting with him. I see that he is pestering you.
What’s the purpose?”
Even if the incident yesterday had not happened, Meng Lin, who knew that Qin Feng had killed someone, would not have approved his sister's association with Qin Feng.
After all, he can still be admitted to Peking University after serving his sentence for murder. People with this kind of psychological quality are either heroes for a lifetime or capable ministers who help the world.
But from Meng Lin's point of view, Qin Feng should be more likely to be the former, because when Qin Feng provoked Tao Jun and others in the club, Meng Lin could clearly sense a strong Jianghu smell from him.
"Brother, you...why do you say bad things about people behind their backs?"
Meng Yao looked at his brother in surprise and said, "You have never been in contact with Qin Feng, how do you know that he is not a good person? And he didn't pester me. I was the one who found him."
Recalling the time since she met Qin Feng, Meng Yao actually felt very depressed because, as she said, Qin Feng had never taken the initiative to look for her.
I met Qin Feng when Meng Yao went to the hospital. At that time, I was so moved by Qin Feng's miserable family background that I immediately ran to the street to withdraw money and give it to Qin Feng, but later I realized that it was just Qin Feng's joke.
The second time he met Qin Feng, it was Meng Yao who took Hua Xiaotong to find him, but Qin Feng still pretended to be crazy and ran away in a hurry later.
It can be said that Meng Yao's impression of Qin Feng was not very good during these two meetings.
But at the club, Qin Feng's performance was indeed amazing. Meng Yao also studied piano since she was a child. She could see that someone who can calm down and play the piano to that level is definitely not an exaggerated person.
So even though Qin Feng was not Meng Yao's sweetheart, Meng Yao was very unhappy when the person he admired was rejected by his brother.
"Yao Yao, there are some things you don't know. He...he is really not a good person."
Facing his sister's accusation, Meng Lin rubbed his temples with a headache. Although he knew about Qin Feng's past, he did not dare to tell Meng Yao. Who knows if it would scare his sister, who has always been simple and kind?
"Brother, you are a policeman. There must be evidence to say someone is bad, right?"
Meng Yao is also a very smart girl. After seeing her brother's appearance, she became a little suspicious and said immediately: "Brother, have you checked Qin Feng? How could you do this?"
Regardless of men or women, they always hope to be independent. In Meng Yao's heart, Qin Feng is his friend, and it is difficult for Meng Yao to accept that his brother went to investigate his friend's behavior in private.
"It's not my fault. It's... that guy Han Ming came to see me."
Just as he knew his sister well, Meng Lin knew that he could not hide anything in front of his sister, so he immediately betrayed Han Ming very unjustly. He did not want to be hated by his sister who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
"Han Ming? Zhou Yichen's brother-in-law? He found someone to beat Qin Feng, what else did he want to do?"
After hearing what his brother said, even though Meng Yao had a good temper, he couldn't help but get angry. He originally owed Qin Feng for that matter, but he didn't expect that the Han family would not forgive him.
"Little sister, don't be angry, let's go up and talk." Hearing his sister's voice getting louder, Meng Lin cried out in pain and pulled Meng Yao upstairs.
"Brother, tell me?" After arriving in the room upstairs, Meng Yao looked at his brother coldly.
"Little ancestor, don't look at me like this..."
Meng Lin was naughty when he was a child. He received countless beatings from his parents, but he never begged for mercy, but there was nothing he could do about his sister.
"Yao Yao, do you know that it was after Han Ming read Qin Feng's files that he had a showdown with the Zhou family and sent Zhou Yichen out of the country?"
Now, Meng Lin no longer hid the truth from Meng Yao. Looking at his surprised sister, he continued: "Han Ming subdued Qin Feng in this matter. Think about it, who can make Han Ming submissive?
Can he be a good person?"
Whenever possible, Meng Lin didn't want to tell Meng Yao about Qin Feng's murder. After all, that was the real way to expose people's wounds. With the education he received, Meng Lin would feel uneasy doing it.
"Han Ming is not a good person. How can he be a bad person when Qin Feng makes him surrender?" Meng Yao was not partial to Qin Feng, but considering the facts, what his brother said did not make sense.
"Hey, why can't I explain this to you?"
Meng Lin pulled a handful of hair in distress. Looking at his sister's clear eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. He took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase and handed them over, saying, "You will understand after you see it for yourself!"
After discovering that Qin Feng had been to their hunting scene at night, Meng Lin printed out Qin Feng's file, read it over and over again, and put it in his bag before leaving. He didn't need it at this time.
What a waste of words.
"What's this?"
Meng Yao took the pieces of paper with some confusion. The first thing he saw was a very immature face, and he couldn't help but laugh, "This... this can't be Qin Feng, right? When was this photo taken? Why?
So young?"
"Don't laugh yet. Let's finish reading this before talking." Meng Lin shook his head, took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood up, opened the window, leaned there and started smoking.
Sure enough, Meng Yao's face turned a little pale when he looked at the contents on those pieces of paper. This was because the impact of the information above was so strong that even if Meng Yao didn't scream out in surprise, it was pretty good.
"Brother... this... everything written on this is true?"
After a while, Meng Yao put down the paper in his hand and looked at Meng Lin with a trembling voice. The things described above were like stories in a novel, which was unbelievable.
"It's true, Yaoyao, brother, there's no need to lie to you."
Meng Lin studied psychology concurrently in college. He knew that his sister's mental endurance was very poor at this time, so he said softly: "Actually, Qin Feng is a very outstanding young man, but after what he has experienced, I don't
I know if his psychology is distorted, so I don’t agree with you dating him..."
"He took his sister to wander around when he was eight years old. How much suffering has he experienced?"
Listening to his brother's words, Meng Yao suddenly thought of what Qin Feng said to him in the hospital, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment. It seemed that Qin Feng was not talking nonsense at that time.
After a while, Meng Yao suddenly asked: "Brother, if someone wants to kidnap me, what will you do?"
"I'll kill him..." Meng Lin blurted out without thinking: "Yao Yao, whoever dares to touch you, your brother, I will kill his whole family!"
"Isn't that what it is?"
Meng Yao's originally pale face showed a trace of blood. He raised the paper in his hand and said, "Qin Feng killed people for his sister, and those people should be killed as well. It's no big deal."
"But...but this is not the same thing."
After hearing what his sister said, Meng Lin's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "He killed so many people, are you not afraid at all?"
"Then what's there to be afraid of? Didn't grandpa kill more people?"
Meng Yao's expression has returned to its original state, and he says disapprovingly: "As long as it's someone who deserves to be killed, I'll kill him. Are you still afraid of grandpa?"
"No...it's not like that."
I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t sleep last night. Meng Lin’s brain is a little confused at the moment. He doesn’t know how to convince his sister, because according to the records in the file, Qin Feng over-defended and did not kill someone intentionally.
.
This kind of manslaughter without criminal motive can actually be punished or not. The reason why he was sentenced to four years, according to Meng Lin's analysis, is that the local government made it to eliminate the bad influence.
"Brother, I know what you are thinking? Are you afraid that I will fall in love with Qin Feng?"
Meng Yao looked at his brother and said, "Brother, don't worry, my sister has no intention of falling in love yet. Whether Qin Feng is good or bad has nothing to do with me. I just invited him to the New Year's Day party."
"Yao Yao, is what you said true?"
Meng Lin looked at his sister with a look of disbelief. He suddenly remembered what his grandfather once said, that in terms of courage, only Meng Yao is the most like him in the Meng family.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case. Qin Feng committed such a shocking act at the age of twelve or thirteen, but it was nothing in Meng Yao's eyes. You know, even Meng Lin was shocked at that time.
Meng Yao nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true, brother, when did I ever lie to you?"
Although she said that, Meng Yao knew that after she read this information, whether it was out of pity or some other reason, Qin Feng really occupied a place in her heart.
"Okay, I believe you. In fact, Qin Feng is not necessarily a bad person. It doesn't matter if we know him, but don't have a close relationship with him."
Meng Lin also came from a young age, and he knew that some things were better left undisclosed. At his sister's age, the more severe the suppression, the more violent the backlash. It was better to talk things out.
"Brother, I understand, but don't tell others about these things. It will have a very bad impact on Qin Feng."
A student from a famous university was actually a criminal who had been in prison for four years. If this news spread, even the words "the whole country would be shocked" would not be an exaggeration. (To be continued...)
